So the price of my easy sleeping and short sleep time is a cumulative sleepy days down the line
tfw you need 8 or more hours of sleep and can go to sleep 14-15 hours straight
Placebo/nocebo is actually way more interesting than you might think at first
Like once a month "out of the blue" I'll have several days where i am sleepy all day no matter how much i slept before
thats more like false causality
And I was not using it as an attack if thats what you think
I don't want to sleep my life away, y'know.
or uh god of the gaps
@Estavor.eldritch It's a summation of pretense. XD

But I've wondered... depending on how faith is defined, it can actually be very relevant to such things as medical or psychological recovery
yeah i have a tendency to do that
Theres some wisdom, then, in that form or definition of faith.
Yeah, and - regardless of validity - faith is useful.
But then you could say it involves deceit in a way

to trust a ritual
Trust is not negative
well we know positive mindsets and happiness are linked to aging and life expectancy
the more unhappy you are
the quicker youll age
Which is why we're basically choosing between Islam or Christianity at the moment ...
apparently a jovial attitude can raise your life expectancy by years
unless you have like shit idk cancer or something
id assume its because mood is hormones
and bad hormones influence some kind of stressor on cells
idk
im not a biologist
though i do read way too many fucking science journals for my own good and understand about 40% optimistically
Its not just positivity

For many people, a blue pill can cause more of a calming effect for instance
